With apologies from the station, WKHB 620khz in PA will have to cancel their test scheduled for April 3rd. The good news is that we've lined up a nice "replacement" test---
KCKN 1020khz in Roswell, NM will be doing some audio chain maintanence work that evening and they've agreed to run some Morse Code IDs/Sweep Tones and go ND to help us all out!

Snail mail at KCKN PO Box 220, Roswell, NM 88202-0220. ATTN: Mr. Don Niccum WKHB will not verify reports submitted by e-mail directly, the BTC will handle those chores.
